This delicious Drunken Noodles recipe is a delightful twist on a classic comfort dish, blending the bold flavors of spicy Italian sausage with vibrant bell peppers, aromatic herbs, and a rich tomato and white wine sauce. The wide pappardelle noodles soak up all the flavors beautifully, making this meal hearty, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
-
8 ounces pappardelle noodles (If you can’t find pappardelle, wide fettuccine noodles make an excellent substitute. Their broad, flat shape holds the sauce well.)
-
1 pound spicy Italian sausage (Remove from casing if necessary; choose your preferred heat level)
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (adds sweetness and depth)
-
1 large can (about 28 ounces) crushed tomatoes (for a rich, hearty base)
-
½ cup dry white wine (adds acidity and enhances flavor complexity)
-
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced (for a mild sweetness and crunch)
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (for vibrant color and flavor contrast)
-
3 cloves garlic, minced (freshly minced for the best aroma)
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (a blend of dried herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme)
-
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
-
3 teaspoons dried parsley flakes (adds a mild, fresh herbal note)
-
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced (fold in at the end for maximum fragrance)
-
Olive oil (for cooking)
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional, but recommended)
